UC app grade problem

Applying to College
1

<p>My HS report cards report the grade earned for each marking period in every class. On the UC application, it gives me the option to add in my grades per marking period: For example, I earned a 92 (mp1), 84 (mp2), 89 (mp3), and 94 (mp4) in AP biology last year. However, our final grades are affected by our midterm and final scores, and there's nowhere on the UC app to put in my midterm/final grades. As a result, the averages of each marking period grade for a class won't add up to the final grade. Should I make some small changes in each marking period grade to ensure that it adds up to the final grade?</p>

<p>Here's an example of what I'm talking about. I earned a 91 in AP Bio last year. However, the average of the 4 marking period grades is an 89.75. Should I tweak the marking period grades a little to make their average equal to 91 (maybe add 5 points to mp2 or something)? I apologize if this is a stupid question =/</p>

<p>Also, I know that I can just choose the "full year" option and put in my final grade for each class without any problems. However, I did WAY better 2nd semester than I did 1st, and I really want to emphasize that.</p>

<p>put your grades as they appear on your transcripts,
if you add five points, they’ll eventually see the change and reject you :(</p>

<p>^But the thing is, I’m adding 5 points to my marking period grade. My final average will still be the same. Here’s a breakdown:</p>

<p>MP1 - 92
MP2 - 84 + 5 = 89
MP3 - 89
MP4 - 94</p>

<p>(92 + 89 + 89 + 94)/4 = 91 which IS my final grade in that class and the grade that will appear on my transcript. The reason why I’m adding those 5 points is because the UC website doesn’t let me put in my midterm and final grades, which contributed to my final grade.</p>

<p>I would still enter them as they are.
UC’s can figure that out lol</p>
